If the engine has recently been running, the exhaust system will be hot.
Before working on or near the exhaust system, allow sufficient time for the exhaust
system to cool as touching any part of a hot exhaust system could cause burn injuries.
Running the engine with insufficient oil will cause engine damage. If the low oil
pressure indicator remains on, stop the engine immediately and investigate the cause.
Never check or adjust the engine oil when the engine is hot.
Any attempt to check or adjust the engine oil when the engine is hot may result in
insufficient engine oil causing engine damage.
Always check or adjust the engine oil when the engine is cold.
An accurate indication of the level of oil in the engine is only shown when the engine
is cold and the motorcycle is on the side stand.
This method of checking the engine oil is especially important to make sure the oil
capacities are distributed correctly because this model has a dry sump engine. Failure
to follow this method will result in an inaccurate indication of oil in the engine.
• Make sure the engine is cold.
• Start the engine and run at idle for 60 - 90 seconds.
